Every 5,000 years, a Titulari is born into the world. Titulari is the Latin form of the word "holder." In this case, the "holder" of magic and magical abilities and properties.

Each Titulari, however, does not have the privilege of independence when it comes to their magic. As in, they don't have any choice in which magical talents they hold. Those talents are chosen for them by gods. If a Titulari is chosen by Ethelle, the goddess of healing, he or she will be gifted in the arts of healing. If they are chosen by Dietro, the god of shifting, they will be talented shape shifters with the freedom to change their form and so on and so forth.

There are often signs throughout the life of a Titulari that will give hints as to which god or goddess they will be chosen by. But it is not truly known or decided until a Titulari's 18th birthday, on which they travel until they reach the temple of the gods. There, they will be chosen.

It's an exiting journey for most Titulari. But for Liéra Vecaith, it's something she dreads more than anything.

On the day of Liéra's birth, terrifying signs appeared within nature itself. The skies turned black, the winds howled, and tsunamis rose in certain places. And terrible green lighting flashed within the sky.

Ever since then, the people around Liéra have been convinced that she would be chosen by Severin, a wicked God of chaos, destruction and death. It doesn't help that as she grows, Liéra loses herself in horrible visions of said chaos and destruction, that she soon calls "daymares."

Everyone, even Liéra herself, is convinced that she will be chosen by Severin. Everyone believes she will be the end of humanity as they all know it. Everyone except for Krest, a young mercenary who is paid to escort Liéra on her journey to the temple. He believes that everyone has the power to shape and change who they are and what their fate is. Even a Titulari like Liéra.

"The freedom to choose for one's self is an illusion. The power of choice is a sweet and intangible notion that people like me can only dream of. Like the moon and the sun, this freedom...this power will never be mine to hold." -Liéra
